My Alternator Pulley Came Off!..What the?

I just bought a new alternator in april of this yr. I had someone install it for me and the damn pulley came off on me while I was driving today. The whole pulley and belt made this wild horrific screeching sound and now my check battery light is on.
How do I fix this and is the shop that sold me the alternator responsible for this mishap?
They sold me a bum alternator 1 yr ago and I complained to the owner because the alternator lost it's power in 12 months. They are supposed to last much longer than 12 months in a car. I told him there was no reason for it to die out on me because I don't have loud music or any music playing in my car. I have no amp or any stereo stuff either. I don't have anything that would drain it and I have a brand new yellow top Optima battery that has 620CCA so it packs enough punch. The alternator he sold me was a bum one and he replaced it for me for 1/2 price.
Now this new one I got from him sucks big time with the pulley falling off in 4 months!!
WTF??

What's wrong with my brakes?

I just had my brake fluid replaced about a month ago but my car still doesnt feel like it is braking right. When I brake, I have to apply a lot of pressure to the brakes in order for it to stop. It doesn't make any weird sounds, no smells. It just feels kinda loose on the pedals.

Why does my car manual give a different maintenance schedule for timing belt replacement for different states?

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 3.0 L engine. The manual says change the timing belt at 60K, except in California where it is optional. The manual indicates you can go to 100K in California. I can't find anyone who can explain this. Is it really safe to let it go to 100K? (I live in Calif).

Could Large Passenger Seaplanes ever come back into service ?

Could we see a return to those glorious days of the 30's when trans-atlantic/pacific aircraft were flying on a daily basis. With the delays and problems of FBO's and the availablility of costal landing sites, would the aviation industry ever attempt to come up with a commerical transport aircraft. We have seen such a tremendous advancement in AC construction, that this would seem a viable option.
